MS-13 Suspect Moved Before Van Hollen Visit? | Trump, Dems Clash Over Deported Maryland Man’s Rights

Kilmar Abrego Garcia, a deported immigrant alleged to have MS-13 ties, was moved from El Salvador’s notorious mega-prison CECOT before Senator Chris Van Hollen arrived to advocate for his release. While Trump defends the deportation, citing national security, Democrats claim Garcia was wrongfully deported and stripped of his rights. A federal judge found no terrorism links, prompting a Supreme Court ruling to facilitate his return. As the debate intensifies, Garcia’s case has become a political flashpoint between immigration policy, human rights, and national security narratives. #KilmarGarcia #VanHollen #Trump #MS13 #DeportationDebate #ElSalvador #CECOT #HumanRights #ImmigrationCrisis #MarylandPolitics #RachelMorin #DHS #TruthSocial #CentroIndustrial #SCOTUS #BidenVsTrump #GangViolence #JusticeSystem #ConstitutionalRights #PoliticalDivide ~HT.318~
